Irishman Padraig Harrington, announced last week as one of Darren Clarke’s vice-captains for this year’s Ryder Cup, bogeyed his final two holes to miss out on the playoff by one shot.
Lundberg, a three-time European Tour winner, will make his major championship debut after posting his seven-under total in cold and blustery conditions.
Bourdy’s compatriots Gary Stal and Romain Wattel will join him in the field after both finished on four-under, a figure matched by Sweden’s Alex Noren.
Englishman Andrew Johnston shot three-under, delighting local crowds by clinching his spot in what will be his U.S. tournament debut. The 27-year-old last month won his maiden European Tour title in Spain.
His compatriots Lee Slattery (six-under) and Matthew Baldwin (four-under) also qualified.
Ryder Cup hero Peter Hanson of Sweden put a couple of injury-hampered years behind him to earn qualification on three-under-par alongside Italy’s Matteo Manassero, still only 23 years old but now set for his fourth U.S. Open appearance.
A five-man playoff determined the last three qualifiers, with Germany's Max Kieffer holing from the bunker on the first hole. Dane Soren Hansen qualified with a birdie at the second.
Sweden's Sebastian Soderberg claimed the last berth with a birdie on the fifth extra hole to earn his maiden major championship appearance.
